Aiden will receive $1.43 from a $5 bill.
If the state tax is 5.5%, you can use the equation below to solve for the total cost, t.
t = 1.055 (2 × 1.09 + 1.20)
t = 1.055 (2.18 + 1.20)
t = 1.055 (3.38)
t = 3.5659
You can round 3.5659 to $3.57. Finally, you subtract 3.57 from 5 to find the amount of change Aiden will receive, c.
c = 5 - 3.57
c = 1.43
